Romans 12
New King James Version
Living Sacrifices to God
12 I (A)beseech[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies (B)a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your [b]reasonable service. 2 And (C)do not be conformed to this world, but (D)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may (E)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Serve God with Spiritual Gifts
3 For I say, (F)through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, (G)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt (H)to each one a measure of faith. 4 For (I)as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so (J)we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is (K)given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us (L)prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; (M)he who teaches, in teaching; 8 (N)he who exhorts, in exhortation; (O)he who gives, with liberality; (P)he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, (Q)with cheerfulness.
Behave Like a Christian
9 (R)Let love be without hypocrisy. (S)Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 (T)Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, (U)in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 (V)rejoicing in hope, (W)patient[c] in tribulation, (X)continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 (Y)distributing to the needs of the saints, (Z)given[d] to hospitality.
14 (AA)Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 (AB)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 (AC)Be of the same mind toward one another. (AD)Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 (AE)Repay no one evil for evil. (AF)Have[e] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, (AG)live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, (AH)do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, (AI)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore
(AJ)“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but (AK)overcome evil with good.

Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Vieţi consacrate lui Dumnezeu
12 Prin urmare, vă îndemn fraţilor, prin îndurarea lui Dumnezeu, să vă aduceţi trupurile voastre ca o jertfă vie, sfântă şi plăcută lui Dumnezeu. Aceasta va fi o închinare duhovnicească[a] din partea voastră! 2 Nu vă conformaţi acestui veac, ci lăsaţi-vă transformaţi prin reînnoirea gândirii voastre, ca să puteţi discerne voia lui Dumnezeu, cea bună, plăcută şi desăvârşită.
Smerenie şi slujire
3 Prin darul care mi-a fost dat, spun fiecăruia dintre voi să nu aibă despre sine o părere mai înaltă decât se cuvine, ci fiţi modeşti în gândirea voastră, fiecare după măsura de credinţă pe care i-a dat-o Dumnezeu. 4 Pentru că, aşa cum într-un trup avem multe mădulare şi nu toate au aceeaşi funcţie, 5 tot astfel şi noi, care suntem mulţi, suntem un singur trup în Cristos, iar în mod individual ne suntem mădulare unii altora. 6 Avem diferite daruri, după harul care ne-a fost dat: dacă darul cuiva este profeţia, să-l folosească după măsura credinţei sale; 7 dacă este slujirea, să slujească; dacă este cel de a da învăţătură, să dea învăţătură; 8 dacă este încurajarea, să încurajeze; dacă este dărnicia, să dea cu generozitate; dacă este acela de a conduce, s-o facă cu dedicare; dacă este acela de a fi milostiv, s-o facă cu bucurie.
Dragostea
9 Dragostea să vă fie sinceră; urâţi răul, lipiţi-vă de bine! 10 Iubiţi-vă unii pe alţii[b] cu o dragoste frăţească! Luaţi-vă la întrecere în ce priveşte respectul pe care vi-l acordaţi reciproc.[c] 11 În ce priveşte dedicarea, să nu fiţi leneşi! Fiţi plini de râvnă cu duhul! Slujiţi Domnului! 12 Fiţi bucuroşi în nădejdea voastră! Fiţi răbdători în necaz! Dedicaţi-vă rugăciunii! 13 Ajutaţi-i pe sfinţii care sunt în nevoi! Fiţi ospitalieri! 14 Binecuvântaţi-i pe cei care vă persecută! Binecuvântaţi, nu blestemaţi! 15 Bucuraţi-vă cu cei care se bucură, plângeţi cu cei care plâng! 16 Trăiţi în armonie unii cu alţii![d] Nu vă gândiţi la lucrurile înalte, ci asociaţi-vă cu cei smeriţi[e]! Nu vă consideraţi singuri înţelepţi! 17 Nu întoarceţi nimănui rău pentru rău! Urmăriţi ce este bine înaintea tuturor oamenilor! 18 Dacă este posibil, atât cât depinde de voi, trăiţi în pace cu toţi oamenii! 19 Preaiubiţilor, nu vă răzbunaţi niciodată singuri, ci lăsaţi loc mâniei lui Dumnezeu, pentru că este scris: „A Mea este răzbunarea; Eu voi răsplăti! zice Domnul.“[f] 20 Însă „dacă duşmanul tău este flămând, dă-i de mâncare, iar dacă-i este sete, dă-i să bea, căci, făcând aşa, vei îngrămădi cărbuni aprinşi pe capul lui“[g]. 21 Nu te lăsa învins de rău, ci învinge răul prin bine!

Romeinen 12
Het Boek
Een levend heilig offer: een vreugde voor God
12 Ik zeg u daarom, vrienden, dat u zich helemaal aan God moet wijden. Temeer omdat Hij u al zijn liefdevolle goedheid aanbiedt. Laat uw lichaam een levend offer zijn, heilig, zodat het een vreugde voor God is. Dat is de beste manier waarop u God kunt dienen. 2 U moet niet worden als de mensen die zich niets van God aantrekken. U moet anders worden, door een nieuwe manier van denken. Dan kunt u ontdekken wat God wil. En wat Hij wil, is goed, aangenaam en volmaakt.
3 Als Gods boodschapper zeg ik tegen ieder van u: beoordeel uzelf eerlijk en denk niet te hoog van uzelf, bepaal uw eigen waarde naar de mate van het geloof dat u van God ontvangen hebt.
4 Een menselijk lichaam bestaat uit vele delen en die delen doen niet allemaal hetzelfde. Zo is het ook met ons. 5 Al zijn we met velen, door onze verhouding tot Christus vormen wij samen één lichaam. En wij zijn stuk voor stuk leden van dat lichaam. Wij horen bij elkaar. 6 De gaven die God ons heeft gegeven, zijn verschillend. 7 Wie namens God moet spreken, doet dat naar het geloof dat hij daarvoor krijgt. Wie moet helpen, krijgt daar de kracht voor. Wie moet onderwijzen, krijgt de gave om te onderwijzen. 8 Wie anderen moet aansporen en bemoedigen, krijgt daar de woorden voor. Wie iets moet uitdelen, krijgt de gave om eenvoudig te blijven. Wie leiding moet geven, krijgt daar de wijsheid voor. Wie zich ontfermt over mensen die het moeilijk hebben, doet dit met opgewektheid.
9 Laat uw liefde geen schijnvertoning zijn. Keer u af van het slechte en houd u vast aan het goede. 10 Houd veel van elkaar, als broeders en zusters, en laat elkaar uw waardering blijken.
11 Laat uw ijver niet verslappen, maar dien de Here vol enthousiasme. 12 Wees blij, want God gaat iets geweldigs voor u doen. Geef niet op als u het erg moeilijk krijgt en houd nooit op met bidden. 13 Help de gelovigen die tegenslag hebben en doe altijd uw best om gastvrij te zijn. 14 Wens de mensen die u vervolgen alle goeds toe. U moet hun niets kwaads toewensen. 15 Wees blij met wie blij zijn en wees verdrietig met wie verdrietig zijn. 16 U moet één van hart en ziel zijn. Wees niet hoogmoedig, maar doe uw best nederig te zijn. Doe niet of u de wijsheid in pacht hebt. 17 Als iemand u kwaad doet, zet het hem dan niet betaald. Doe liever iets goeds voor alle mensen. 18 Probeer, voor zover het van u afhangt, met iedereen in vrede te leven. 19 Neem nooit wraak, vrienden! Laat dat maar aan God over, want Hij heeft gezegd: ‘Mij komt de wraak toe, Ik bepaal de straf voor alle zonden.’ 20 Maar u moet doen zoals het in Spreuken staat: ‘Als uw vijand honger heeft, geef hem te eten. En als hij dorst heeft, geef hem te drinken. Zo stapelt u gloeiende kolen op zijn hoofd.’ Dan zal hij misschien een andere houding aannemen. 21 Laat het kwade u niet overwinnen, maar overwin het door het goede te doen.
Romans 12
New International Version
A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, I urge you,(A) brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,(B) holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform(C) to the pattern of this world,(D) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.(E) Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is(F)—his good, pleasing(G) and perfect will.
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
3 For by the grace given me(H) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(I) 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(J) and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts,(K) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(L) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(M) 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(N) 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(O) if it is giving, then give generously;(P) if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Love in Action
9 Love must be sincere.(Q) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.(R) 10 Be devoted to one another in love.(S) Honor one another above yourselves.(T) 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,(U) serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope,(V) patient in affliction,(W) faithful in prayer.(X) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.(Y) Practice hospitality.(Z)
14 Bless those who persecute you;(AA) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.(AB) 16 Live in harmony with one another.(AC) Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.(AD)
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.(AE) Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.(AF) 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(AG) 19 Do not take revenge,(AH) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d](AI) says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e](AJ)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
